It’s been a long time since I talked about my app’s release, but finally this day came! Today, I want to present you Look Counter – a simple app for counting how many times a day you have turned on and unlocked your phone (or tablet). It counts this in background and displays the latest numbers on the main view. You, as a user, can delete this data at any moment of time (Clear all Data option, with a quick Undo if you change your mind).

I’ve put an About view, if somebody is confused with the minimalist design and doesn’t follow what those numbers in circles mean, or maybe, wants to contact me right away, and say that counting doesn’t work for him at all! 😛

Answering the question Why?, I’d say Sometimes there is no need for Mobile Data switch, for example not all tablets have 3G module. This is one possible answer. Another one is that I did it for myself. Yes, there are plenty of similar widgets/apps, but I wanted to have my very own too ^^

It’s been a long time since my last post 🙂 Nevertheless, I wanted to write about my first Android widget that I have published on Google Play. It’s called WiFi & Mobile Data Switch Widget and it does exactly what the title suggests – switches WiFi & MD ON or OFF. It is very useful as you have both of these actions in one place and don’t need two widgets or, what is even worse, jump to Settings.

What are the advantages of such widget? First of all, you see what is the state of WiFi and Mobile data at a current time. Second, you have a better control of connections and a very convenient one, – the widget is available on Lockscreen as well! Finally, turning WiFi or MD only when you need it and without even unlocking your phone/tablet, saves a battery life and this is a big plus! 😉

Today I want to present my new app – Turn Me Off.
It enables you, as Android programmer or tester, to easily test internet disconnects and properly handle them in your own application. You can set different minute intervals (from 1 to 60) and precise time for Wi-Fi and Mobile Data ON/OFFs.

For more info, please read the Description or Help.

P.S. I’m thinking about a “seconds interval” because 1 minute is quite a looong time for a mobile world, so stay tuned – there will be update soon! 😉
